Captain America: Civil War
Directed by Joe Russo, Anthony Russo
Following the events of Age of Ultron, the collective governments of the world pass an act designed to regulate all superhuman activity. This polarizes opinion amongst the Avengers, causing two factions to side with Iron Man or Captain America, which causes an epic battle between former allies. From TMDB

Recently I have quite liked the Marvel movies that I have watched. Sadly I did not like this movie at all. The only reason that it does not get a zero or one star rating is cool special effects and a few laughs. I want my heroes to be just that, heroes. Unfortunately this movie gets off on the wrong foot right away by not only “incriminating” the Avengers in the eyes of dimwit politicians and putting them on …

Rewatched for the Once Upon a Franchise podcast. Listen to the full episode here: https://open.spotify.com/episode/6pVTvEv7nAZTHniVUGDwoA?si=e8832adab95b405e Rating: A+ Captain America: Civil War is the rare blockbuster that earns its massive scale by rooting every explosion in a deeply personal, ideological rift. I find the common complaints regarding its "grey" aesthetic to be largely misguided; the desaturated, …

Awesome! My new favourite, so far at least. What an absolute joy 'Captain America: Civil War' is! It made 147 minutes feel like so much less. Great action, enthralling story, sharp humour and some impeccable use of the many, many characters; even introducing two new faces to the MCU. I won't spoil who, but they are massive additions and I love what they give to this. It gives the perfect amount of screen time to all …

The Captain America movies have managed to ground the MCU by exploring the political and social climate created by the Avengers' existence. Actions have consequences and consequences influence more action. Civil War isn't as focused as The Winter Soldier. It's also overstuffed with characters and fan service. However, the movie works by always being intriguing. Both sides of the conflict are portrayed as equally …

A long form review originally posted in 2016 It’s commonplace for me to need more than one viewing to really nail down my feelings on a movie, that’s particularly true of MCU, and even more so of this particular film. That all said, here is my initial reaction to Captain America: Civil War. As is often the case, it’s hard to write down too comprehensive a post about a film this early on while remaining totally …
How this was made: an AI model (deepseek-v4-flash) read 34 of the 228 public posts we collected about this film and wrote the summary, likes and dislikes, citing the posts behind each point ([n] opens the post). A second AI pass checked every statement against the posts it cites; anything it could not match was removed, and code removed any statement with quotation marks, numbers that are not in the posts, or unattributed claims about people. The split is counted from the posts’ own ratings. Generated Oct 10, 2026. Method

neutral · AI labelView post →Im rewatching the first Captain America movie because dammit sometimes you need a story about heroes. In it, the scientist Erskine says, "So many people forget that the first country the Nazis invaded was their own." I mean, dang. That's good writing in any case, but right now? It hits hard.
neutral · AI labelView post →The guy who directed Jurassic Park 3 and the first Captain America movie also did this book about a lil Ewok named Teebo and I think that’s neat
neutral · AI labelView post →Captain America Brave New World is a perfectly serviceable action movie that somehow has exactly nothing to say about the fact that Anthony Mackie as Captain America is fighting the President of the United States in the middle of Washington DC. Forget subtext, there's barely even any text about it.
neutral · AI labelView post →I hope everyone supports Anthony Mackie this weekend in going to see the new Captain America movie. It’s actually vital to support a Black Captain America during this time and can’t let it flop

neutral · AI labelView post →There is nothing brave or new in CAPTAIN AMERICA: BRAVE NEW WORLD. It's a tap dancing vision of a Black Captain America. My review via @ebertvoices.bsky.social.
negative · AI labelView post →Flying home from Hong Kong, I decided to rewatch "Captain America: The First Avenger". Two things: 1. It's a good movie. Solid story and action. 2. I couldn't imagine anyone else playing Steve Rogers. Chris Evans really nailed it.
positive · AI labelView post →The exact measure of my professionalism: because I hadn’t decided to write about the new Captain America film, I am going a second time to make proper notes. But you better believe I am not sitting through this dull, vanilla mess dry!
negative · AI labelView post →The more I think about it, the more I am amused (derogatory) by the new Captain America film. A movie so cowardly but also so determined to tell a story that does not work thanks to its cowardice.

neutral · AI labelView post →Watched CAPTAIN AMERICA: THE FIRST AVENGER today with my daughter and it is still the best of the early MCU films. Superheroes work best when their heroics are met with an equal amount of tragedy. This film knows that, doling out death and desolation every time Cap gains a win.
positive · AI labelView post →I'm never gonna make fun of a movie portraying a rise of fictional fascism for being over-the-top ever again. Captain America Winter Soldier was more understated than this.
positive · AI labelView post →Was lucky enough to see a screening of a previously unseen cut of Albert Pyun's CAPTAIN AMERICA (1990) that is *wildly* different from the theatrical release and the DC. This version is less a superhero film, more of a downbeat 70's political paranoia thriller. Like THE PARALLAX VIEW but with Cap
